Order and History, Volume 3 (Cw16): Plato and Aristotle

Meer over het boek

Annotation The final of the three volumes on Greek culture from pre-Hellenic to full maturity, reprinted with silent corrections from the 1957 edition published by Louisiana State University Press. By analyzing the Platonic and Aristotelian vision of soul, polis, and cosmos, Voegelin (b. 1901) demonstrates how the symbolic framework of the older myths was superseded by the more precisely differentiated symbols of philosophy.
